Daisy is EXCELLENT' MARIAN KEYESKatherine lives by the rules, ticks all the boxes and prepares for the worst, even while she hopes for the best.Then the worst actually happens and, as she tries to navigate life as a young widow, it turns out she was not prepared at all.Nothing scares Katherine more than stopping, but everyone insists she needs to take some time for herself. Head to a wellness retreat, they said. Enjoy some me-time, they said...Except this retreat isn't the pity party she was hoping for. Instead of massages, she has erotic meditation, and instead of spa treatments she has scream therapy.Katherine has never lost control in her life. In fact, she's fairly certain that if she starts screaming she might never stop.But she's about to let go, and everyone had better stand back...Hilarious, heartbreaking and honest, this is a story about learning how to stop playing it safe in a world that feels so dangerous - and showing up to the party, even when it feels impossible.***'Deeply moving and very funny...I loved it' LOUISE O'NEILL'The funniest book you'll read this year' LAUREN BRAVO'Thought-provoking, charming, cathartic and hilariously vivid' SARAH KNIGHT'Hilarious, moving and unexpected' REBECCA WAIT'I laughed, I cried, I screamed, I devoured every page... a laugh-out-loud balm' NIKKI MAY'A standout novel - heartbreaking, observant, deeply relatable and impossibly funny' ROSIE WALSH'Pity Party is perfection' LINDSEY KELK'Unbelievably good' LUCY VINE'Buchanan is such a terrific comic writer...A joy to read' I magazine'Daisy Buchanan makes me laugh out loud' KATHERINE HEINY'Wonderfully funny.
